That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text.
One color explored: close hues with real lightness and chroma structure, so the palette is the anchor through value rather than a set of colors.
#8fb7c8 · #6591a4 · #2f6479 · #164a5d · #002937 · #000b12
The anchor's neighbours on the wheel — everything shares an undertone, so the chord carries color without anything having to be muted to get along.
#538a8a · #397883 · #2f6479 · #26506f · #273c5d · #242a4a
The mid-gap pairing — sage and mustard, terracotta and olive. A foil rotated 40–65° toward warm or cool: too far to be kin, too near to argue, carried by temperature and a deliberate value offset.
#b0b4d1 · #8c93c5 · #747790 · #2f6479 · #11485b · #002d3c
One deliberately opposed voice — a single restrained counterpoint across the wheel, or temperature against temperature where the anchor is too muted to carry a loud opposite.
#c99379 · #6f7f87 · #2f6479 · #264350 · #0c2731 · #010c13
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#f8f0ec · #a9b4b9 · #7b7572 · #2f6479 · #3a464b · #030100
This color as a ground rather than a subject — its own restraint held across a narrow value band, carrying one saturated voice from the opposite temperature.
#e2f6ff · #b8cfda · #2f6479 · #052f3d · #000b13 · #f07c3d
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#d4dab5 · #d8923e · #6e74a8 · #2f6479 · #573634 · #051211
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#ffeee6 · #d6a3a5 · #8f7041 · #2f6479 · #623538 · #0f0500
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#feecf5 · #cfa3ba · #7b7943 · #2f6479 · #48461a · #040002
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

Its moderate chroma lets it work in mid-size areas — upholstery, secondary UI surfaces, editorial blocks — without overwhelming neighbors. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
